Sheriff's Lt. Dave Kent says two CHP officers fired shotgun blasts at a red pickup with three people inside following a vehicle chase around 10 a.m. Tuesday. One man and one woman were taken to the hospital.

Kent says he didn't know why the officers fired at the truck or how seriously the man and woman were injured. The CHP officers were not injured.

The Redding Record-Searchlight reports that Happy Valley Road was shut down and nearby West Valley High School was locked down for about 30 minutes because of the chase and shooting.
